Dons to travel to Sky Bet League Two rivals in Emirates FA Cup opener

MK Dons will travel to Grimsby Town in the First Round of the Emirates FA Cup.

Paul Tisdale’s men were paired with their Sky Bet League Two rivals in Monday’s draw.

The two sides, who have met six times before, drew 1-1 earlier in the season at Stadium MK.

MK Dons reached the Fourth Round of the competition last term, beating Sky Bet Championship Queens Park Rangers along the way. Their best-ever performance in the Emirates FA Cup came in 2012/13 when they reached the Fifth Round.

The tie is scheduled to take place over the weekend of 9th November. Full match and ticket details will be confirmed in due course.
